They burn so much energy at practice and in games that it’s not uncommon for a kid to need 6,000-8,000 calories just to maintain weight, and then on up from there if he needs to bulk up. Their bodies need in one day what a lot of you probably eat in an entire week.

Yes, they were going to bed hungry under the old NCAA plan. Almost all of them were, and almost every day.

Were you spending 60+ hours a week playing sports, ostensibly making millions for your school on your championship winning team? Did you come from a family with no money to send you? I highly doubt all of those things were true of you. You speak like a person who doesn’t understand what it’s like to have ZERO money. To be at school ONLY because you have a scholarship.

You’re extremely quick to write off this kid’s hunger, as if food insecurity doesn’t exist in this country. You are ignorant and blind. I hope you never feel true hunger, you wouldn’t be so quick to judge if you ever had.

Student athletes that train the way they do need way more than 3 meals a day to sustain their energy level. Last time I checked the campus cafeterias and eating restaurants close before 9pm so YES, they probably are hungry when they go to bed

Not that it hurts anything, but it’s a sign that the NCAA is pretty worried about its sudden bout of unfavorable press, and it should be. The NCAA is a parasitic outfit that exploits kid athletes for big money and basically gives them nothing.

Wed, 16 Apr 2014 02:27:19 +0000http://collegebasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=493911#comment-19060The players are right. How is a college athlete supposed to live on only three free meals a day? They’re really just the same as those Ethiopian children we see on the news. Had the NCAA not taken any action, most of the players would have died of starvation.

And I’ll say it again, that guy that whined about going to bed starving is either full of crap or just stupid. It’s in the school’s best interest to keep these guys as healthy as possible, they’re not going to bed hungry.
